Clearly, precipitation in the form of meteorites – this forecast gives weather forecasters on Friday night. At this time, US residents can observe one of the most beautiful meteor showers – Arionidae.
Orionid is an annual meteor shower, which is derived from the debris of comet Hale.
This time more fortunate inhabitants of the Eastern States – that’s where orionid will be visible best.
«After midnight you will see 10 to 20 meteors per hour,» said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Dave Samuel. According to him, this year is especially good for Orionid, as it coincides with the new moon, which means better visibility in the night sky.
In the Eastern United States will be clear, as in much of South-West. But the residents of Central and North-Western States was less lucky – there is the beautiful natural phenomenon is likely to close the clouds. In addition, residents of California will prevent the smoke from severe fires.
Meteorologists say, wishing to admire Arionidae need to be patient as it may take some time to see shooting stars.
«It is best to allow your eyes to adapt to darkness for the full 45 minutes,» said Dave Samuel.
If someone miss star rain, he this year will have the opportunity to catch up: in the middle of December the sky will light up the Geminids – one of the most beautiful meteor shower.
